We're back and our Internet service is back too, but the ice is still here.  Mike & I enjoyed 10 sunny days in Florida and try as I might to bring that warm weather back with me to Maine, it just didn't happen.  Cold nighttime temperatures and even colder, snowy days have hung on.  As you can see in today's webcam photo, the rivers have started to open and the ice is beginning to break up, but most likely it will be another week before the ice is gone here at the north end of the lake.

We are looking forward to welcoming back our returning spring fishermen and greeting new guests beginning on May 9th.  We still have some availability in Mid-May and a few days at the end of the month too.  Call or email if you can sneak away for a few days to wet a line.

The calendar may indicate that spring has arrived, but I can tell you it hasn't come this far northwest just yet.  The overnight low was only 14 degrees and the wind has been howling bringing with it light snow showers for the past week.

Mike and I would like to extend or thanks to all our winter guests and hope to see you all next year.  Thanks also to our hard working staff who help to make this operation a success.  Both Chad and Dana have decided to tackle new opportunities elsewhere so they will not be returning to Bosebuck when we re-open for spring fishing on May 9th.  We wish them well in their new endeavors.

As usual our spring project list is quite long but with the help of John C. & Jerry, we have already crossed off a few items.  If the weather doesn't cooperate soon, the outside chores will just have to wait.  Plenty to do inside, so we won't be bored.

Our spring fishing season is already heavily booked, so if you are still thinking about fly fishing the upper Magalloway watershed you should be picking up the phone right now.  The same goes for our Fall dates too.

2012-2013 Winter Season ending March 30th

The end of the 2012-2013 Winter Season is fast approaching.  Even though we received a good charge of snow a couple days ago, the sun is warm and spring riding is at it's peak.

Our lodging and dining room will close next Saturday, March 30th at 3PM.  Gasoline will still be available until 7pm daily.  Thanks for a great season and perhaps we will see some of you for fishing or summer recreation.

We welcomed the first day of Spring 2013 at Bosebuck Mountain Camps with 16 inches of new snow and it's still coming down.  Why we had to wait until the last day of winter for a good old fashioned snow storm, I just don't know.  I find it quite exasperating. However, those of you who haven't packed that sled away yet, will have some awesome riding for the next few days.

Yes, this is a current picture and yes, it's snowing here at Bosebuck Mountain Camps.  We have at least one inch of new snow on the ground and it's still coming down.  Current temperature is 25 degrees.

Expect spring riding conditions, some icy spots and perhaps thin in some areas but overall there is still some great riding to be enjoyed.

Our dining room is till open 7 days a week for breakfast 7:00 AM to 9:30 AM and lunch served from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM.

Yes, the thermometer hit 50 degrees here and yes, we did receive some rain.  But we did have a light dusting of snow on the ground this morning and the temperature has dropped to 32 degrees so Mike is headed out in the groomer as I compose this post.  The forecast for the next several days is calling for temps in the low twenties to high teens overnight with snow on Saturday and perhaps again on Tuesday.  I will have a better idea of trail conditions when Mike returns.

We did have a few riders in camp today and they reported the trails weren't too bad.  High traffic areas and some corners were thin, but overall, conditions were good.

I just added another six inches of snow to the snow total page and it's still coming down.  Current temp is 26 degrees with heavy overcast.  This additional snowfall will certainly provide for some great riding today.  We'll keep an eye on the extended forecast too as it's looking like more on Wednesday. 

We have been VERY busy these last two weeks so I want to send out a big thank you to all those who stopped in for lunch or stayed for a few nights for the full Bosebuck experience.  We appreciate your business.
